Video Description

Taken from Hwy 52, 7 miles North of Kenmare, ND looking west towards Bowbells, ND. Tornado was moving ESE along Hwy 52. It stayed mostly rural until it crossed Hwy 52 neer Upper Des Lacs Lake. The damage footage shows the area where the tornado crossed Hwy 52. A farm was destroyed, machinery was rolled into a pile near the road. A small car that broke down earlier in the day just happened to be in the tornado's damage path that evening. No one occupied the car at the time of the tornado. There was one fatality involving a motorist who drove into the rain wrapped tornado killing its 51-year-old Canadian driver. The car was reportedly thrown several hundred yards.
